If your vehicle has the CD changer, you can play up to 12 CDs continuously. Normal size CDs may be played using the trays supplied in the magazine. The small 3 inch (8 cm) CDs can be played only with specially designed trays.

Notice: Placing heavy objects, which may shift or slide while driving, in the trunk could damage the CD changer. If your vehicle has the optional CD changer, do not put heavy objects in the trunk.

You must first load the magazine with CDs before you can play a CD. Each of the 12 trays holds one CD. Slide the button on the top of the magazine and gently pull out one of the trays. Load the trays from top to bottom, placing a CD on the tray label side up. If you load a CD with the label side down, the CD will not play and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into the magazine slot until it locks into place. Repeat this procedure for loading up to 12 CDs in the magazine.

Once you have loaded the CDs in the magazine, slide open the door of the CD (CD) changer. Push the magazine into the changer in the direction of the arrow marked on top of the magazine.

Close the door by sliding it all the way to the right. When the door is closed, the changer will begin checking for CDs in the magazine. This will continue for up to one and a half minutes depending on the number of CDs loaded.

To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD changer door all the way open. The magazine will automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting inside the changer.

Whenever a CD magazine with CDs is loaded in the changer and the door is closed, the CD changer symbol will appear on the radio display. If the CD changer is checking the magazine for CDs, the CD changer symbol will flash on the radio display until the changer is ready to play. When a CD begins playing, the CD and track number will appear on the radio display. The CD numbers are listed on the front of the magazine.

All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio buttons except for ejecting the magazine.
